"Whom i do not think it now a friend of yours a few text messages..."

You sent one of your friends, whom I do not think it now a friend of yours a few text messages, these messages were about your boss. You say that someone is threatening to use them against you, I take it that it is your "so called friend" that is saying that he will do this, perhaps by showing them to your boss.

If he is threatening to do this, is it because you have had some kind of falling out, or do you think he could be joking and just trying to scare you?.

If you want to retrieve your messages and you have a smart phone or an iphone, then there is a new app called Tiger Text and this give you up to one month to get those messages deleted, there is information on the internet about it if you have one of these phones it can also be used on Android and Blackberry phones, I think it came out in 2010.

If you haven`t got one of these mobiles, try logging in to one of your friends phones and see if you can pick your account up on their phone and do it from there.

If this is not possible then you need to speak to your friend and tell him how you feel, that if he uses these texts, your job could be ruined, and that in turn would really ruin your life.

If he is threatening you with showing them to your boss then is he using it as a threat for something, because if he is, then that would be seen as a form of blackmail, so you could threaten him with legal action.

Hopefully you will be able to just talk to him, make him see reason and ask him to delete the texts,that would be the reasonable, mature thing to do, but if it turns nasty, then you can say that it is blackmail.

Sometimes these little things can escalate all out of proportion, let it be a warning to you, and never put anything detrimental in writing, as it can backfire and if your boss sees the texts, then he could think of it as defammation of character, so then he can take legal action.

I too have had the multiple text problem, and have found a way around it;
1. Download the "AntiSpamSMS" app for free in the android market
2. Open the app, and select "block"
3. Press menu and select "insert from SMS text"
4. Then select the text that is repeating itself Although you get a notification saying "spam blocked" whenever the repeating text comes through, it is a lot less annoying than a text coming through more than 50 times.

Flip over your mobile..... is there a pic of an android on it... or does it say google?...... a common theory is that if u have an android then it is more likely to be the bad batch.... get it exchanged, prferably from an alternative branch of purchase to avoid repeat bad handsets..... happened to me, did exactly that and mobile is now fine!

I have the same issue. I went into the O2 shop yesterday to sort it out.
Apprently this is a well known issue that samsung are trying to develop a fix for but the guy in the shop said that realistically this fix is not going to be coming out any time soon. the only option is to return your phone and get a different model handset.

This is not a fault with the o2 network - the europa is experiencing the same issue on orange, t-mobile and vodafone. also phones bought from P4U (also unlocked phones) are having the same issue, not just network locked phones.

You can try third party app like Handcent, this allows you to configure different tones for different contacts as well as the colour of the LED and symbol that appears in the notification bar and the vibrate pattern.
